Rekeying changes a mechanical lock’s key match where its design and condition allow it. It may be relevant after theft or when the door and ignition keys no longer match. Electronic starting authorization needs separate consideration.
Not every cylinder can be rekeyed. Damage may require replacement, and chip-key programming may be additional work.

Moonlight Beach and Swami’s have separate parking areas. State which beach you visited and whether your car is in its lot or on a residential street. A beach name alone may send a service vehicle to the wrong access point.
